Tri-fold brochures are one of the most popular marketing products out there. These business brochures are effective because they’re cost-efficient, versatile, and easy to distribute. But for your brochure to catch the eye of a potential customer, it has to stand out from the crowd.
How do you differentiate your brochure from all the rest? Perhaps you hire a professional designer who can create an innovative look, reevaluate the content of your brochures, and consider how they fit into a comprehensive marketing plan. Or perhaps you opt to present your brochure in a different medium, for example, as business cards, postcards, booklets, or magnets. There are many ways to distinguish your brochure. Here are our suggestions!
-
Go for the classic look…
A traditional tri-fold brochure is a classic design that leaves a lot of room for creative content and look. Opt for a traditional business brochure design and you’re giving customers what they expect. You’re also giving them what’s been proven to work time and time again .

…or try a more creative one!
Rather than a traditional brochure, try something different that may pay off. Maybe that means printing a greeting card that includes all the information that would be in a brochure. This approach feels more personal — it’s like getting a card! — and you can play with the thickness of the paper and have fun with the graphics on the front. Or, why not have a “brochure” that doesn’t need to be folded at all. Postcards are another excellent option for relaying information to customers. And finally, if you have a lot of information to convey, consider opting for a booklet instead. Booklets provide more space for you to share the necessary information, while remaining cost-effective, versatile, and easy to read.

Make a magnet.
If you really want to stand out from the crowd, consider printing the information that would go in your brochure on the front of a magnet instead. Magnets are useful to customers. They’ll put them on fridges, filing cabinets, and other metal surfaces where they’ll see them on a daily basis. Which means: free advertising!
-
Include a loose leaf insert.
Give customers another tactile piece to engage with by including additional information or the core of your message on a loose leaf insert. Customers can easily read what’s printed in bold on this loose leaf, which is another opportunity for you to share your message with them.
